.ing the organs in lace at tee time when the glass is cast mtot e measuring rnold, one of the half-molds bein broken to show the neck-mold and man rel. Fig. 2 is a ion on arr'an rnent which permits the succestwo bottlesnaking devices.

, The bottle-making deviceproper consists of a tubular support 1, rigidly connected at A. second tafreely around support land is maintained at its proper height by a collar 4,-screwed to This sup' ort is made with a central cavit wherein a ollow mandrel 5 moves up and own by such means as the handlever 6. (Shown on Fig.1.) The hollow. mandrel pushes up into the neck-mold 7, fixed in the center of platform 2, and is used in forming the neck of the bottle. Airunder pressure is admitted into the'mandrel by means of cock 8. The head is formed in tne ncclcmold 7. Table 2 is provided with four dovetail rooves 9 at a les with each other and at the bottom of w ich are found our slots ll), out through the table. Fonr dovetail pieces 11 11 11 11' slide in the grooves, and on top of them are mounted the two halves of the measuring-mold l2 and of l the finishing-mold 13. The revolu ble guid ingytahle 3 is provided with slots 14 14, in

which guide-pins 15 15 work freely, These guide-pins are rigidly connected with the sliding pieces 11 11. in order to impart motion to the revolublc platform 3, a lever 16 is provided.

Vhen one bottle-making device only is used. the support I is rigidly mounted m a column if. provided with a suitable stationary w \l'lwn. it is desired to use two hot- Bpecification of Letters Patent.

tie-making devices in uick succession, the arrangement shown on ig. 4 is brought into play. It consists of a heavy sleeve 18,bearmg two diametrically-op osed sockets 19. This sleeve is keyed on a s aft 20, whichrevolves in pillow blocks 21, .mounted on standards 22, by means of pulle 23. The supports 1 of each respective bo tie-making device are secured in sockets 19, so that after one of the devices has been innse 1t ma be moved out of the way by e half-turn o the pulley 23 to be replaced by the second, when operations 'may at once be resumed while the t device is cooling.

The operation of the device is as follows: The two halves of the rne'asurin -mold are at first brought to the center of tEe table 1 by means of the lever 16. This mold fits closely around the neck-mold 7, placed in thecenter of the table. The guide ins.15 15, which are connected to the sli mg pieces 11 11, carrying the two halves of t e measuringmold, arethen at their extreme inner position. The guide-pins-lfi 15, connected to the sli pieces 11 11, carrying the two halves of he finishing-mold, are at their ex- 7 treme ester position, as shown on Fig. 2.

The mandrel is pushed upinto the seekmold. The glass is at this moment cast into the measurin -mold, the mandrel is withdrawn, and t e blast is admitted to unch the parison. When it has been sofar lown that it fills the measuring-mold,. table Bfis" 'moment engaged in the circular portion of 5 7 slots 14 14 are motionless and allowthe halves of the measuring-mold to rececle from the center until both sets of puide-pins reach the bend in'the slots of tab e 3. At'this point guide-pins 15' 15' have reached their-extreme outer limit and are about to enter the circular portion of slots 14 14", where they remain radially stationary Guide-pins 15 15, on the contrary, are forced forward in the rectilinear path of slots 10 10 in table 2 and b their travel brin sliding pieces 11 11 and the halves of the inishirig-molds they carry tothe center, closely encirclin the ncck mold 7. Blast is s am admitte and the arisen is blown until it completely fills the 'shing-mold, thus com leting the bottle. A reverse mot-ion cf the ever causes the mold to open, thus freeing the bottle, which may be withdrawn. A continuation of the same motion of the lever causes the hall tinishing-molds to return to their original extreme outer position, while the half measuriny-molds assume again their original extreme inner position ready for a new operation.

For greater rapidity where using two hottle-making devices the two tables 3 may be connected so as to be put in motion by the same lever. An obviousv reverse arrangement of the guide-pins on the respective tables will cause the measuring-mold on the table of the upper device to open simultaneously with the finishing-mold on the table of the lowerdevice, thus causing the finished bottle to become free automatically.

By the use of my new bottle-making dc- 5 Vice the mechanical manufacture of small bottles and vials which was so dillicult by reason of the small quantity of glass used and its consequent rapid (:oolin is easily realized. Moreover the arts of the bottle-making not in use will be given time to cool between each operation.

What I claim is- 1'. In a bottle-making device the combination of a fixed table, a measuring and a finishing mold carried by said table, the halves of said molds being; radiallv movable, a revoluble table place under the mold-table, slots in both ta les, and guide-pins working in the slots and adapted to move each half-mold toward or from its com lemental half so as to close and open the mo ds.

'2. In a bottle-making device the combina tion of a fixed table, a measuring and a finishing mold, the halves of said molds bein radially movable, a revoluble table place under the mold table, slots in both tables, guide-pins workin in the slots and adapted to move each be] -mold toward or from its com lemental half so as to close and open the mo] s, a hollow support rigidly connected to the mold-table, a hollow mandrel inside of the support, means to supply air under pressure to the inside of thc mandrel and a 1nt'l\'- mold fixed in the mold-tahlc into which thc mandrel is'ndaptcd to move vertically.

ln :1 liottlc-nmliing dcvico the conditiotion of a lixcd tnblc, a nnwtsuring and linishing mold carried by said tnhlc. the inilx'cs ol' said molds l cin; rndiztl' moYuhlc, a roroluhle table placed under the mold-tnhlc, slots in both tables, guidi pins working in thc slots and adapted to IWHU each lnill'mold to ward or from its complemented hall so as to close or open the molds, a llollon supmrt rigidly conncctcd to the mold-tanlc, a hollow mandrel insidc ol' the support, llltzilth to supply uir undcr pressurito thc inside of thc nmndrcl, a neck-mold lix d in lhcmold-tnhlc into which the lnundt'vl is adopted to more .ertically, and n how l'orn-ing a socket in which the support l'or the mold-tahlc is rigidly i'ixcd.

4. The combination of two bottle-nothing devices consisting each of a hxcd table, :1 measurin; and finishing mold carried h said table, the halves of said llltiltl living radially movable, a rcvoluble table placed under the mold'table, slots in both tables, guide-pinsworking in the slots and adapted to move each hall mold toward or from its complemental half so as to close or opcn the molds, a hollow support rigidly connct'lcil to thc mold-table, a hollow nnindrcl inside of lllt' support, means to supply air under pres ure to the inside of the mandrel, and a mi;- mold fixed in the mold-table into which the mandrel is ada ted to move vertically, with two sockets tlt apted to revolve around an axis placed between them and into which the supports for the mold-table of the respect ive bottle-making devices are rigidl lixcd, and means to revolve the socket In witness whereof I hnrc signed my name in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
